When I wasn’t at convention events, my roommates and I toured the strip. My strongest advice for others is 1. dress for hot weather but pack a sweater because the hotels are cold, and 2. use public transit, traffic is heavy and local drivers are impatient with confused tourists. Oh, and 3. bring a camera. :)

I had gone a couple times before during my 20’s, but this time around I appreciated the people, glitz and architecture a lot more.
